Request: #232626 • Urgency: Normal • Demographic: Child-Centered Request • City: Columbus • State: Ohio • Zip Code: 43207 • County: Franklin • Submitted By: OhioKAN

Story

•
2 Children 1 Adult

A devoted and supportive caregiver is currently providing care for a three-year-old toddler boy and a 10-month-old baby boy through Kinship Care. He has bravely taken on the responsibility of raising both children on his own, without external assistance.

While he is in the process of applying for financial benefits to help support the children, there are still urgent needs. The caregiver is seeking support with clothing for both boys, including baby clothes. Any assistance with clothing items or gift cards for children’s clothing would be deeply appreciated, especially as he is not currently receiving SNAP benefits. This support would help free up limited funds for groceries and ease the financial strain on the household.

Additionally, the caregiver is in need of two toddler beds and two toddler mattresses to ensure safe and appropriate sleeping arrangements for both boys, as the baby will soon transition into toddlerhood.

Help Improve a Child's Safety/Wellbeing

ERAT is working with a family who could benefit from a new bed as well as a new mattress for one of the children. The household consists of a father of two boys and the youngest son has grown out of his bed at the grandmother's home. The family lives in an area that was heavily hit by the hurricanes last year, so he has limited income following the storms. The father works a lot and is a single parent. The grandmother assists with watching the children when he works late shifts, so the bed will be for her home when the children are there. She lives close by the father and is his support system.

Help Prevent a Child From Entering Foster Care

A mother of two active pre-teens is seeking a dining table that can comfortably seat six people. Currently, the family does not have a designated space where they can sit together for meals, making it difficult to create consistent family time around the dinner table. With the addition of a table, the mother envisions being able to share meals with her children and extend the invitation to grandparents when they visit, creating a more welcoming and connected family environment. This simple addition would foster deeper family bonds and provide a structured space for shared meals and conversation.

Help Prevent a Child From Entering Foster Care

We have a caregiver with his own teenage children accepted 5 children into his home (ages range 6-12), to prevent this from being separated and entering into foster care. The caregiver has 3 bedroom and 4 of the children are currently sleeping on the floor in the living room. I'm requesting 5 large twin size beds with (rales, box spring, pillows mattress and comforter sets-4 boys and 1 girl). The caregiver did not ask for help, but I'm also asking for gift cards for groceries to help supplement this single father (now 7 children), until he's licensed as a level 1 caregiver. I'm asking for this need to be met as quickly as possible as I can't license this home without beds for the children. Thank you in advance!!!!!!

Help Improve a Child's Wellbeing

A family with a child with special needs (seizure disorder and autism) is seeking assistance for a small portable air conditioner. Initially mom thought that the landlord got this fixed but as the days get hotter the a/c cannot keep up. The child’s seizures worsen with heat and the mom is about to undergo a surgery. Does anyone have a used portable a/c that can be donated? Or can you find it in your heart to donate to this cause?

Help Assist a Victim of Domestic Violence

Single mother (who Emmaus members have been walking alongside) escaping domestic violence from husband along with two kids under the age of 7 years. She is starting over from scratch as they left the house with nothing and has no extended family support. She would like to have a car which would provide transportation so she can get a job so that she can get into housing. We are hoping to provide $3,000 towards a vehicle.

If you have any connections to help with housing or a job (she doesn't have childcare so maybe a daycare center, work from home, etc) please respond to this request or reach out to Julie-Anne or Kandilyn Ford.

Thank you for offering support and prayer for this family!
